Gameplay: 9/10 | As mentioned before, a really good example of a fair and fun 2D roguelite.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 100 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is quite dark, and lacks the silly gross-out humor found in the Binding of Isaac.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
7 of 100 sampled reviews raised it
There are a lot of brilliant and original ideas that made me like this game even more than TBoI, like secret stages, a lot of details and fluff, and obviously the plot itself.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 100 sampled reviews raised it
This game also comes with a very good soundtrack as far as I am concerened, so all in all I heartily recommend it.
